O fim da sedução e a violência das relações sexuais, observadas na obra de Pier Paolo Pasolini

Abstract

This research comes from the view of the Trilogy of Life’s three films and Saló, from the italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The films were analyzed from the aesthetic choices to represent the eroticism and human’s sexual impulses. The basic bibliography was composed of works of the director himself, other works that approach issues we consider relevant to comprehend his filmography, such as obscenity, eroticism, pornography and consumer society. Finally, the contribution of literature about cinema and its studies were used to do the final analyses. It is understood that transforming the sex into a main character was the way Pasolini found to decipher the human being and, concurrently, challenge it to transgression. The sexuality’s representation mirrors the nostalgia of a archaic youth, and then, Pasolini’s degrading vision about the modern youth. Violence and sex without any of the entertainment cinema more common subterfuge used to frame them in a false way.
